Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure
Hello!
I logged onto my game just on the last day of spring, and it should have changed season overnight, but the following happened:
- My game skipped a season, spring was ending and went back to the first day of spring again. As in, my game did not reset: my Sims's progress had saved, nobody "went back in time", but the calendar reset.
- When opening the calendar after the first day of "new spring", all seasons had been shifted by one week: spring contained the holidays of both spring and summer (sometimes two on the same day), summer had autumn holidays, autumn had the winter holidays, and winter was empty.
- I tried creating test holidays, but not all of them were successfully added. It seems I was only able to add holidays to days the game recognised as empty: the whole winter week was, technically, empty, but if I tried adding an event to the third day of the week (which is where I put Winterfest) or the last day (New Year's), it didn't add anything. However, I could add an event to the second day, which didn't have a holiday on it before the bug occurred.
I did notice this after installing the Meaningful Stories mod on Saturday afternoon, 27/06/2020, but it could just be a coincidence, since I've now removed my mods and tested. I've also already deleted the localthumbcache.package and repaired the game, but the problem still occurs.
I've linked my saves, config log, LE files, and also my script mod folders
Thanks a ton for looking into this!

Hi,
Ha, that's what I meant to test too, and forgot...
I'll test tonight and let you know!

@crinrict It seems to be tied to that save only: I tried on an older; existing save, and from a fresh new one. I hadn't played with the older pack since downloading Seasons, so I can't tell if it would have skipped anything, but I was able to create a few test holidays.
If I have to go back to an older version of that save, is there anyway to locate when the error happened, and how far back I would have to go? Also, would I just have to delete that particular save file to go back to an older version?

@crinrictno, no Last Exceptions, and no stuck holiday.
Would it be doable to uninstall and reinstall Seasons before starting the game again? Or would that mess up a lot?

@crinrict once I enable the pack again, will it re-add anything that may have gone missing when disabling it? Say my Sims use CAS items from Seasons, they will be disabled when I access the game with Seasons disabled. Once I able it, will the clothes reappear or do I have to dress my Sims manually again?
